mate, there's no need to be "incredibly nervous" booking J class longhaul on CX. It's a fantastic product. Most of us who whinge about this and that fly on CX all. the. time. We - as in, myself included - are admittedly blowing first world problems way out of proportion here on FT
. That doesn't damp our enthusiasm to criticize CX, but...just sayin'.
Yes, food is CX's weakest point in J, and the mid-flight meals are annoying. But when I say annoying, I mean I flew something like 20 CX long-hauls to/from North America last year. At that stage you're not enjoying the product anymore, and any little annoyance gets magnified. So.....there are worse things in life than a flat bed on a plane. Especially if you have never flown long-haul J class before. It's really a fantastic experience especially if you're used to long-haul Y class, just enjoy it.

Sure hope so. Even if I have to claim a medical condition spacing out meals I will.
?!*?!?! what!!? really that's um, not necessary at all...and if you're serious, you could actually find yourself getting in trouble for pulling a stunt like that.
